Abstract:
Method comprising a) a target analyte associated with a first specific binding member; b) a second specific binding member that binds to the first specific bonding member forming a target complex, wherein the second specific binding member comprises s seed particle suitable for catalyzing the formation of a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate, wherein the SERS substrate can be activated to provide a SERS effect; and c) capture reagent bound to a solid substrate, wherein the capture reagent comprises a Raman label, wherein the target analyte binds to the capture reagent forming a target complex.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for analyzing the protein content of a biological sample, for example to obtain a protein profile of a sample provided by a particular individual. The proteins and protein fragments in the sample are separated on the basis of chemical and/or physical properties and maintained in a separated state at discrete locations on a solid substrate or within a stream of flowing liquid. Raman spectra are then detected as produced by the separated proteins or fragments at the discrete locations such that a spectrum from a discrete location provides information about the structure or identity of one or more particular proteins or fragments at the discrete location. The proteins or fragments at discrete locations can be coated with a metal, such as gold or silver, and/or the separated proteins can be contacted with a chemical enhancer to provide SERS spectra. Method and kits for practicing the invention are also provided.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for identifying targeted datasets that are configured to facilitate an improvement in the accuracy of an acoustic model included in the automatic speech recognition system. Systems obtain a obtain a test dataset comprising (i) audio data having natural speech utterances and (ii) a transcription of the natural speech utterances. Systems generate a text-to-speech dataset comprising audio data having synthesized speech utterances based on the transcription of the natural speech utterances. Systems apply the test dataset and the text-to-speech dataset to the acoustic model to obtain a first acoustic model output and a second acoustic model output, respectively. Systems identify a first set of errors in the first acoustic model output and a second set of errors in the second acoustic model output. Finally, based on comparing the first set of errors and the second set of errors, an acoustic model error ratio is generated.

Abstract:
The methods and apparatus disclosed herein are useful for detecting nucleotides, nucleosides, and bases and for nucleic acid sequence determination. The methods involve detection of a nucleotide, nucleoside, or base using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) or surface enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (SECARS). The detection can be part of a nucleic acid sequencing reaction to detect uptake of a deoxynucleotide triphosphate during a nucleic acid polymerization reaction, such as a nucleic acid sequencing reaction. The nucleic acid sequence of a synthesized nascent strand, and the complementary sequence of the template strand, can be determined by tracking the order of incorporation of nucleotides during the polymerization reaction. Methods for enhancing the SERS signal of a nucleotide or nucleoside by cleaving the base from a sugar moiety are provided. Furthermore, methods for detecting single base repeats are provided.
